We traveled from St. Louis to Nashville on Friday, pulling into the Nashville KOA at about 4:00 PM. We had a relaxing rest of the day, playing catch baseball, football, and a few other things. Peter met another boy his age from next door, and they all played together for the rest of the night. We had dinner and went swimming until about 9:30, then went to bed.
The next day, we went into the music city area of Nashville, seeing many sights. We took a tour of the Ryman Auditorium, which was the original Grand Ole Opry location for many years (1943-1974). It's known as the Mother Church of Country Music. It originally was a church, created in 1889 by Captain Thomas Ryman, for Southern Evangelist Samuel Porter Jones to preach in. It lay vacant from 1974 to 1994, when it was renovated, and hosts the Grand Ole Opry in the Winter time. We seen many other city sights.
At night, we went to a place called "A Cowboy Town", which was an outdoor dinner theater, which had 4 different skits of gunfights & comedies, hayrides, a great dinner, campfire, with great hosts. We came back to our camper at about 8:30 PM, and watched part of a video of Yellowstone national park, to remind us of our early adventures on our trip.
